About the center
Overview
Transplant is a time of great challenge and great hope. At University of Minnesota Medical Center & University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital, our blood & marrow transplant team offers superior clinical treatment along with compassionate and personalized patient care. Our physicians provide Autologous & Allogeneic transplant options for malignant and non-malignant disease including many rare genetic conditions. We have extensive expertise with different stem cell sources and conditioning intensities tailored to the patient's disease risk and tolerance for intense therapy. The world's first successful matched, related donor bone marrow transplant was performed in 1968 at our center. Our extensive history allows us to provide specialized treatment options for patients including those with high risk, relapsed, & refractory disease. To date, our physicians have performed over 8,000 BMTs. Our adult & the pediatric hospitals are authorized centers for the FDA approved CAR-Therapies
This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 1968 and has been an NMDP/Be The Match transplant center since May 1988.
